Gladiator Arena - UPDATED Sep 10th
« on: August 31, 2010, 01:06:32 AM »
I've begun work on a gladiator arena, a project I have always wanted to do since I was a kid.



It's in the early stages but I hope to complete it fairly soon.

There is more info on my blog http://adventuresinlead.blogspot.com/2010/08/wip-arena-part-1.html

Thanks for looking - comments and critiques more than welcome.

This is going to be awesome!

I enjoyed the blog entry. It's a great idea!

What kind of rules will you be using? We used to do something similar with D&D back in the day...

Looking forward to seeing how it turns out.

Oooh yes, I have always liked Gladiators. Looking forward to seeing it come together.

Thanks for the kind comments guys.

Christian: The rules will most likely be Morituri Te Salutant, which I have only discovered recently. I like the strategic approach to the combats, but in truth we are yet to play test them. I will have to tweak some things here and there and make a custom set of cards to make the game a little easier.

Swiftnick: I have seen it and it looks great - tracking one down is a little hard and expensive though, besides I need to spread my wings with this terrain building business!
